‘目’과 ‘眼’의 의미 확장 분석

Abstract

The object of this research is to analyze the expansion of the meaning for "目(eye)" and "眼(eye)" that mean "an eye" in Chinese. To get this object, I tried to analyze the concept of "目(eye)" and "眼(eye)" on the basis of explanations in the dictionary and at the same time research the pattern of the expansion of the meaning.In antient Chinese, both "目(eye)" and "眼(eye)" had been used as lexemes but in modern Chinese, only "眼(eye)" has been used as a lexeme. At the beginning of marking for "an eye", "目(eye)" that was created after the physical shape of an eye had been used. But time goes by, people's consciousness has been broken into parts, it had caused "眼(eye)" to show up and involve the early function of "目(eye)". In addition to, "目(eye)" and "眼(eye)" has taken some parts. "目(eye)" is taken when people express the formal aspect and "眼(eye)" is taken as people mean the functional and structural aspects. In general, both "目(eye)" and "眼(eye)" used to express the formal, structural and functional aspects.In written laungauge, "目(eye)" is mainly used and in spoken laungauge, "眼(eye)" is used. But people certainly use "目(eye)" to express itemes or the records that are from a game of Baduck and "眼(eye)" is surely used to mean the spot in the board of Baduck.
